Abstract
Outcomes of stoma closure surgery (a surgical procedure to reconnect the bowel and close a stoma) in 110 patients at the Department of General Surgery at Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Patna is of interest. 55 patients in the ECS (early stoma closure) group received treatment within 14–28 days, whereas 55 patients in the CSC (conventional stoma closure) group had treatment after 8–12 weeks. There were fewer complications in the ECS group (44%) than in the CSC group (64%). Thus, problems with stoma closure surgery were less often in ECS (4%) than in CSC (6%). Results suggest that early stoma closure can be performed safely in patients who fit the requirements.
